Standards for Disability Services in Victoria
The Standards for Disability Services in Victoria (the Standards) consist of both Outcome Standards and Industry Standards.
Outcome Standards
The Outcome Standards describe what is important for people with a disability as citizens of Victoria. These Standards prompt us to consider the influence and impact that we have upon the political, social, cultural, economic and physical wellbeing of people with a disability.
Industry Standards
The Industry Standards describe how systems and processes should function in order to:
- support people with a disability to achieve the outcomes they want
- safeguard the rights of people with a disability, family members and carers
- inform practice so it can be improved
- support compliance with legislative requirements and funding obligations.
